About
My journey began growing up in a large household. I would often seek the sanctuary of my own thoughts & translate them through art at an early age. I developed a joy of drawing & illustrations which gave me a means of channelling my emotions & expressing my thoughts through imagery.
My mother was & still is a talented dressmaker. Having six other siblings usually meant disposable income was rarely available, my beautiful mother would often make & create various styles of clothing & attire for our family. I would watch attentively as she would create various items of apparel ranging from school uniforms, tracksuits, pyjamas & even formal wear such as dresses & gowns. Through this experience I got to witness firsthand the process involved in creating wearable garments from scratch.
I had found a new way to express my creativity & imagination. My love of art & illustrations began to gravitate towards designing clothing with my mother.
I achieved a retail career where I served as a retail assistant that led to managerial roles as well as merchandising. I developed skills & knowledge relating to the business operations of the fashion world giving me some further insight into the mechanics of the industry. Driven by my desire to explore my interpretation of fashion & design, I was determined to push towards my goal of bringing my visions to life.
Inspired by my travel experiences whilst living abroad as well as my heritage, I have created an Australian made & owned line that exudes elegance without compromising functionality. To be worn as everyday essentials or as statement pieces for that special occasion. Considerate to all a woman is & can be YOUMSARA looks to celebrate “you” by means of dressing one to look & feel their best self.
